7 7 FINANCE COMMITTEE RECENT WORK ITEMS  August 13 th Presentation for Electricity Price Structure by Cheryl Eakle and Jason Volz  Defined all components of a non-residential electric bill  Variation in Application of Demand Charge, Ratchet and Standby Rates  Scenarios examined with and without CHP o Looked at the effect of an unplanned outage with demand ratchet on the utility bill.  August 13 th Presentation for Natural Gas Outlook by Jason Willan of Fellon McCord  Increased domestic production seems to have reduced volatility, but the supply/demand balance remains tight. Prices should trend higher due to coal retirements, LNG exports, regulations, and mfg demand, but expected to remain below peak levels of mid 2000s.

8 8 FINANCE COMMITTEE UPCOMING WORK  Discussion of Industrial Revenue Bonds with the Economic Development Cabinet  Review of the White Oak Case Study for a CHP performance contract  Continue ESA Discussions  Are there CHP scenarios outside of those outlined in the 2012 PSC memo?  Continue Standby Rate Discussions  Review State rates and application in conjunction with demand ratchet clauses  Review possibility of USDA or other programs and applicability to CHP

9 9 POLICY COMMITTEE RECENT DISCUSSSIONS  Presentation was given August 14 th by Jeremy Faust of GCEA about the ePAD legislation (PACE)  ePAD is an energy project finance tool that works through property tax assessments  Allows for longer term financing  May be seen as “off balance sheet”  Nationally $245 million worth of projects are in the pipeline using a similar (PACE) Financing mechanism.  Legislation will likely be proposed again in January  Thermal Sales  EKPC Spurlock Plant sells steam to Inland Container, but only because of additional boiler capacity (additional fuel used)  Looking for industrial case studies

10  Letter will be drafted requesting PSC opinion of CHP-related issues.  Information will be relayed to the Policy committee as it becomes available for:  Permitting Issues – waiting on Tech SubCommittee  Interconnection Guidance - waiting on Tech SubCommittee  Rate Issues - waiting on Finance SubCommittee  Air Quality Regulation Impacts – 111(d) – comments to EPA due Oct.  Third Party Arrangements – need to clarify with PSC, per 2012 staff opinion  CHP as coop-owned asset – opportunity? POLICY COMMITTEE NEXT STEPS 10

11  A presentation was given August 6 th regarding maintenance of reciprocating engines by Steve Killian of the Wayne Co  Used by over ½ of CHP applications in the US  Well proven technology with a lifetime maintenance cost of <.75 cents/kWh  Maintenance requirements are well documented  A lube analysis can optimize reliability while reducing downtime and maintenance costs  Development of Air Permitting Guidance for CHP  Will also discuss in Policy committee as necessary  State-wide Interconnection requirements being reviewed  Will also discuss in Policy committee as necessary  Also working on:  Vendor list, Heat Load Guidance, CHP Reference Library TECHNICAL COMMITTEE RECENT DISCUSSIONS 11
